Christmas Tree Canapés from Puff Pastry
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. Any meat works for this appetizer — dry-cured, cold-smoked; you can even use thinly sliced favorite sausage. The cheese doesn't have to be cottage cheese or cream cheese; hard cheese with a baked-milk flavor works great, for example, grated on the finest grater. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
